Left behind: Peter Pevensie

Chapter 5

A year later the Pevinsie children are waiting for the train, sitting down.

"What was it this time?" Susan asks, annoyed with her older brother.

"He pushed me" "So you hit him?" Lucy asks. "No, he pushed me and then tried to get me to apologize"

"When will you learn to grow up "Susan shakes her head. "Aren't you tired of getting treated like a kid?" Peter asks.

"Um, we are kids?" Edmund says confused.

"Well I wasn't always, it's been a year how long does he expect us to wait" the other siblings exchange looks.

They love Narnia, they all do but Peter left behind the person he loves and not just the place. He sits down but not for long as Lucy cries out jumping up.

"Lucy" Susan hiss. "Ow Ed '' Peter yells standing up as he feels a pinch. "What's happening?" Susan asks

"I think it's magic" Lucy says. "Hold hands," Peter says. "I'm not holding your hand!" Edmund snaps and Peter rolls his eyes grabbing his hand and Susan's as the train station starts falling apart.

It transforms into a cave and they look at each other smiling before racing to the water. "Last one in is a rotten egg" Peter calls and the siblings follow laughing.

They were home.

"Do we look like a boarding house for Telmarin soldiers?" Nikabrick asks and Trufflehunter scoffs. "Well we can't kill him after I bandged him, it would be like killing a guest"

Harper watches from a dark corner just sipping on her soup. Just then the boy wakes up running into the room and grabbing a fire poker while Nikabrick gets his sword

"Look what you did, I spent half the morning on this soup" Trufflehunter grumbles picking up the bowl that fell.

"What are you?" The boy asks. He looks around Harper's age which confuses her even further.

"It's funny you think more people would know a badger when they see one" "No, your Narnian's, you're supposed to be extinct" Harper rolls her eyes. Obviously they're not.

"Well we almost were because of you Telmarin soldiers" Nickabrick growls.

"I am not a soldier, I am Prince Caspian the tenth" The boy says and Harper raises an eyebrow.

"Good that means we won't have to kill you ourselves" Nickabrick says. "You're right, I shouldn't be here" He rushes to grab his armor. "Wait you can't leave your meant to save us" Caspian stops.

"Don't you know what this is?" Trufflehunter asks. "No," The boy says, confused. "It's High Queen Susan's horn," Harper says, leaning off the wall and walking closer.

"Who are you?" The boy asks, looking at the girl in front of him who looks like she could kill him in a second. She doesn't respond, just stares at him.

"High Queen Susan from the golden days?" Caspian asks and she nods slowly. "We should wait for the kings and queens," Trufflehunter says. "

They aren't coming back," Harper says lowly.

"I need to leave" Caspian runs out and Nickabrick and Trufflehunter exchange a look.

"Harper.." Trufflehunter looks at her and she rolls her eyes grabbing her cape and following the boy outside.

"You are going to get yourself killed "she says, reaching his side quickly. He glances at her. "Are you a Telmarin?" He asks. "No, Narnian" "You don't look Narnian" she doesn't answer and keeps walking by his side annoyed that they aren't concealed in the trees.

Being alive for thirteen hundred years gives you a lot of life experiences. She has mastered going unnoticed. The perfect spy. A branch is snapped and Harper knows it's Trufflehunter and Nickabrick.

"I can hear you," Caspian says, turning around. Obviously not well enough as they have been following them for ten minutes.

"I just think we should wait for the kings and queens" Trufflehunter says and Harper scowls. Caspian goes to answer but Harper puts her arm out unsheathing her sword.

"I smell human," Trufflehunter says. "Them?" Nickabrick asks, pointing to the teenagers. "No, them" He points to where Harper was staring and at least a dozen Telmarines show up.

"We have to go" Nickabrick starts to run. "Where's Harper?" Trufflehunter asks and they notice she's missing and Caspian looks confused at how the girl just disappeared. They start running and don't make it very far since Trufflehunter got shot. He falls to the ground.

"I'll get him!" Caspian yells and throws him over his shoulder. The shooting suddenly stops and Caspian turns around to see soldiers falling and looking in the grass for unknown danger. They fall one by one and he sees the mystery girl cutting down soldiers with such grace he didn't know anyone could have while killing people. The grass starts moving and Caspian is on the ground he looks up, mouth dropped.

"Any last words Telmarine?"

"You are a mouse," He says in shock.

"You Telmarines are so unoriginal. Now pick up your sword I will not fight a unarmed man" "Which is why I may live longer if I choose not to cross blades with you noble mouse" "I said I would not fight you, I didn't say I would let you live" The mouse puts the blade closer and Caspians eyes widen.

He is going to die because of a mouse.

"Reepacheep" The mouse lowers his sword. "Trufflehunter I hope you have a very good reason for this untimely interruption" "He doesn't go ahead" Nickabrick says.

"He's the prince," Harper says, joining them sheathing her sword.

"He blew the horn," Trufflehunter says.

"Then bring it forward, this is the reason we have gathered"
